View Full Version : Weirdest Novelty Song?
Cactus Jack 05-15-2004, 09:42 PM Ok, so we;ve all heard those novelty song, which od oyu think is the WEIRDEST Novelty song is
My vote goes to "Theyre Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haa!" by Napoleon XIV
Kazza 05-15-2004, 10:15 PM I LOVE that song!:lol: Other weird one is 'Don't worry be happy':rolleyes:
Steve M. 05-15-2004, 10:29 PM How about "The Streak" by Ray Stevens? The song was about the streaking craze of the mid-seventies.
"Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?" "Yeah, ah see. . . ."
I'm going to have to go with the king of novelty himself, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and his song "Christmas At Ground Zero."
Jrnygrl 05-15-2004, 10:54 PM My Ding-A-Ling by Chuck Berry. One of the greatest guitarist, with great songs, and he was reduced to this. :eek: :rolleyes:
Janice 05-16-2004, 12:18 AM Randy Newman's 'Short People' was funny.
The 'Macarana' craze was sort of cute.
I don't know if it's novelty, but Billy Ray Cyrus's, 'Achy Breakey Heart' was catchy.
There's the good old 'Hokey Pokey'. Always a standard at weddings.
musicradio77 05-16-2004, 01:52 AM I like the song "Troglodyte" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch. That was a weird novelty. I like another weird song called "Christmas in Poughkeepsie".

I like most of Weird Al's work but can't imagine that title:(

It's from the 1986 album Polka Party!. It's not a parody of any particular song, but it's sort of a style pardoy of Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree."
Unfortunately, since 9/11, a lot of people who hear it for the first time think it refers to the World Trade Center wreckage site. :(
Christmas at Ground Zero
(Yankovic)
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringin' and the carollers are singin'
While the air raid sirens blare
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That "This is not a test..."
Everywhere the atom bombs are droppin'
It's the end of all humanity
No more time for last minute shoppin'
It's time to face your final destiny
Well, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath a mushroom cloud
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbin' down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill
Oh, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
And if the radiation level's okay
I'll go out with you and see the all new
Mutations on New Year's Day
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Now the missles are on their way
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
MandieR1980 05-16-2004, 07:51 PM I used to love "Christmas At Ground Zero" but since 9/11 it took on a whole new meaning and I just don't feel right when I hear it now

Weird Al's song was recorded 15 years before September 11th
Dean Winchester 05-16-2004, 07:58 PM how about a lot of the South Park music?
Let's Fighting Love
Ben Affleck Almost Makes Me Forget All About Tacos
Christmas Time In Hell
Timmy!!!
Turds
Circle Of Poo
plus all the songs from the movie
most of these songs won't make sense unless you see them in the context of the episodes

Ditto! That's one of the most bizarre songs I've ever heard in my life. It's supposed to be about a man's dog trying to drive him insane, or so I've heard. :eek:

Weird Al and Ray Stevens and Dickie Goodman's stuff is weird sometimes ,but all great nonetheless
How did I forget this one?
King Tut
(Martin)
(King tut)
(King tut)
Now when he was a young man, he never thought he'd see (King tut)
People stand in line, to see the boy king (King tut)
How'd you get so funky (Funky tut)
Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia (King tut)
(King tut)
Now if I known they'd line up just to see him (King tut)
I'd taken all my money, and bought me a museum (King tut)
Buried with a donkey (Funky tut)
He's my favroite honky
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia (King tut)
Dancin' by the Nile (Disco tut)
The ladies love his style (Boss tut)
Rockin 'em for the mile (Rockin tut)
He at a crocodile
He gave his life for tourism (King tut)
(Tut, tut)
(Tut, tut) Golden Idols (tut, tut)
(Tut, tut) He's an Egyptian (tut, tut)
(Tut, tut) They're sellin you (tut, tut)
(King tut)
Now when I die, don't think I'm a nut (King tut)
Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like ole' King Tut (King tut)
He coulda won a grammy (King tut)
Buried in the jammies
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stona
